20. Waiting for someone
When Tang Yiyi heard it, she asked curiously, "Brother Bai is waiting for a woman?" ”
Seeing Tang Yiyi asking, Xu Mingjie approached her and said in a standard gossip tone: "Nine times out of ten, do you know?" The young lady of the sisters' barber shop at the end of the alley has liked Baike for a long time, and there is nothing wrong with the neighbors who have not said anything. But once when she was cutting Baike's hair, she confessed, and Baike pretended to be stupid and didn't answer, but Baike never went to her store to cut her head after that. ”
"The young lady is quite capable."
"Isn't it? My little sister wanders around with her boyfriend all day long, and the store is supported by herself. Baike, I don't know what kind of one he wants to choose? ”
She shook her head and pouted, "In the past two years, we have introduced him to 10 girls, and he has also gone to meet him, so it can be seen that there is no follow-up." Later, when I asked those girls, they said that he didn't call again, so he didn't want to have a relationship. There was a girl who liked him a lot and took the initiative to call him, but he said sorry and inappropriate. ”
Tang Yiyi covered her mouth and laughed, "That's how he talked?" ”
"But it's not, it's rushing and straight, how do you find a girlfriend like this?"
Tang Yiyi almost laughed, and suddenly remembered, "Who is he waiting for?" ”
"A girl who used to live in this alley, they were also childhood sweethearts, and they moved away later. The girl has a big heart, she has long wanted to go to big cities such as Beijing and Shanghai, her parents died in a car accident a few years ago, and now she and her brother are the only two people at home. ”
"And where is she now?"
"I don't know, I heard that I'm drifting north."
Tang Yiyi sighed, she admired the men and women who dared to drift north, she didn't have the courage, her diploma was only counted in the traditional Chinese medicine industry in the province, and if she wanted to go to the capital, she had to study as a graduate student.
"But, if he's waiting for that childhood sweetheart, how can he go on a blind date?"
"Maybe they broke up a long time ago, maybe he won't say it if you ask him, it's a stuffy gourd."
Xu Mingjie finished eating the noodles, drank the soup again, and touched her stomach, "You can't eat so blindly in the future, you can't wear beautiful clothes when you gain weight." ”
"Auntie, how fat is she? A medium stature is suitable. Tang Yiyi gave Xu Mingjie a thumbs up.
"You're so thin, just eat with confidence, when I'm your age, my stomach is iron, and I don't get fat no matter how I eat. I walked back slowly, eating less. Xu Mingjie took out the money from her bag, counted out the change, put it on the table, waved to Tang Yiyi and left.
Tang Yiyi drank the last mouthful of soup, stood up and wiped his mouth, and called out Baige.
Qin Baike came out and saw the money on the table, grabbed it, took Tang Yiyi's bag, and put it in directly, saying, "Xiao Xie's moxibustion fee is not enough for you to tell me, and I will give it to you." ”
"No need Baige, that isn't worth much."
"You're just an apprentice, and you'll decide whether to give it free or not when you become the boss."
"Oh." Originally, she was going to tell the master tomorrow, although the master would say it nine times out of ten, but it was really up to the master to say this, "I don't have to be the boss, next time I give Xiao Xie acupuncture for free." ”
Qin Baike handed her the bag, and was stunned for a moment when he heard her say this, he bit his lip and said, "Xiao Xie, thank you there." ”
"Centro doesn't have to be so polite."
Qin Baike looked at Tang Yiyi and stopped talking, looking at Qin Baike with a rare and rich expression, Tang Yiyi was curious but deliberately didn't ask.
"That," Qin Baike's old face was a little hot under Tang Yiyi's gaze, and he finally said, "Xiao Xie is almost 17 years old, I mean...... I don't know how to talk to the little girl, can you talk to her when you're fine, see what she likes, what she is suitable for, help her get an idea, what she wants to learn, I will send her to learn. ”
"She is in her first year of high school at this age, and she can still take the college entrance examination in the future." This is the only way out Tang Yiyi can think of, she has been here for more than ten years.
"Reading can be a little difficult, well, forget it, it's okay, you go back and rest." Qin Baike turned around and went back to the store. Tang Yiyi couldn't help but say to his back: "I'll find time to talk to her and see what she likes to do the most?" Qin Baike looked back at her and said, "Thank you." ”
Tang Yiyi entered the small door, tiptoed all the way upstairs, entered his room, breathed a sigh of relief, and then said in hindsight: "Obviously he asked me to help, how did it seem like I was begging to help him." Dealing with him, it is really different from ordinary people. ”
She took out the prescription and notebook from her bag, sorted out the prescriptions one by one and put them in the file bag, put the notebook on the bookshelf, and then went to take a shower.
Lying in the quilt and taking out his mobile phone, there was no new information from Wang Yufeng, he didn't know what he was doing, he really missed him, and he hadn't sent a new message in his circle of friends for a long time.
She wrote in the WeChat dialog box: Yu Feng, I miss you, have you heard Joey Yung's "Little"? Listen well, you must not have heard the vocal chorus version, so I'll record one for you another day.
His finger hesitated on the send button for a long time, and finally did not click, if he could not reply in time, it would be doomed to wait and lose this night.
She deleted the text entered, found a cute goodnight gif, and sent it over, both to say hello and goodnight, if Wang Yufeng replied, he would continue to chat, and if he didn't reply, he would sleep peacefully.
The wait in the dark is long and quiet, except for the eyes that can't see, the other senses have become sensitive, the faint fragrance of yellow cypress orchids in the air makes her heart quiet, and she can vaguely hear the occasional sound of the range hood next door, the long honk of the car in the distance, and the cat meow out of nowhere, showing everywhere that this is still a living world.
Suddenly, there was a tinkling of the message prompt.
